Why lift emergency communications matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lift emergency communications are a critical safety requirement, but they are often managed in the background until something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to telecoms infrastructure, power continuity requirements and portfolio complexity can make it difficult to understand whether lift comms are performing as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SENTINEL exists to provide clarity and confidence, not assumptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n What is the PSTN switch-off and why does it affect lifts?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

The UK is retiring analogue PSTN landlines by January 2027. Many areas are already migrating to digital services. If a lift emergency phone relies on a copper line, it may stop functioning once migrated unless it has been properly adapted and tested.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n Who is responsible for lift emergency connectivity?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Building owners and managing organisations are responsible for ensuring lift emergency communication systems remain operational and compliant. This includes maintaining a reliable voice path and ensuring resilience during power outages or network changes.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n Why can digital migration cause lift alarm failures?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Lift autodiallers were designed for analogue signalling. When lines are migrated to digital without compatibility checks or battery backup, emergency calls may fail\u2014particularly during power interruptions.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n What happens if no action is taken?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Lift emergency phones may silently fail after migration or during a power outage. This can expose building owners to safety risks, compliance issues, and urgent reactive upgrades.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n Why is battery backup critical for digital lift lines?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Unlike analogue lines, digital services depend on local power. Without a battery or UPS, a mains failure can disable the lift emergency phone when it is needed most.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n How does SENTINEL reduce operational risk?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

SENTINEL provides managed, monitored lift connectivity with roaming SIM resilience, extended battery backup, and automated alerts via AVIRE HUB, helping you identify issues before they become incidents.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n Does this replace our lift maintenance contractor?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

No. SENTINEL supports lift maintenance providers by ensuring the communication pathway remains resilient and monitored. Mechanical servicing and lift safety responsibilities remain with your contractor.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n

\n Will this support EN 81-28 compliance?<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Yes. SENTINEL supports EN 81-28 requirements by maintaining a two-way communication path, automated test capability, and power resilience, helping keep your lifts compliant.<\/p>\n <\/details>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
